This is huge...we are a peole marked by doubt that we are usefull for anything or at least paralyzed by indecision about what path to take in life. We need this puruing love.

I caught myself thinking about Zechariah and John the Baptist. Though Z was a priest in the Lord's temple, his central goal in life was his fathering little John. Much like John would say of Jesus, Z must decrease, and John must increase. With Z's admission of God's will for his son, he was given speech, and more than that, Z was given a destiny. If Christians enter into disciplemaking, they must be prepared to be EITHER David OR Jonathan, since this is not about us, it is about Christ. Lewie,
